It just seems like there is someone better out there than Burnitz, but maybe not without having to make a trade.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811858639259602946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-1136427091112716082006-01-04T21:11:00.000-05:002006-01-04T21:11:00.000-05:00One would have to assume that a) the Astros have p...One would have to assume that a) the Astros have pictures of Preston Wilson in a compromising position; and b) he didn't want to play for the Pirates. I think I did hear that we were pursuing him, so I doubt it was for lack of trying that we didn't get him.<BR/><BR/>As for Burnitz... if Littlefield doesn't spend that money, it goes into G. Ogden Nutting's pocket. Littlefield's a smart guy, and he know to spend what's being offered to him. And isn't Burnitz AND Wilson still better than Burnitz OR Wilson? Somethign will happen to someone, and we'll have at least a little depth we didn't have before. Burnitz has played center adequately as well.Archihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955447670170512263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-1136343397373880522006-01-03T21:56:00.000-05:002006-01-03T21:56:00.000-05:00Now that the Astros signed Preston Wilson to a 1-y...Now that the Astros signed Preston Wilson to a 1-year deal for $4 million, I like the Burnitz signing even less.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811858639259602946noreply@blogger.com
